Today sees the first visit to Yeovil Town of Harry Redknapp since the former Tottenham Hotspur and Portsmouth manager was offered an advisory role with the club.

Redknapp will be on hand to offer guidance and advice to Glovers boss Darren Way and will oversee the first team’s training session this morning.

With just two days to go until Yeovil’s trip to Newport County, Way will also be speaking to the media ahead of the visit to Rodney Parade.

In a new Thursday live blog, we will be bringing you all the build-up to Saturday’s game plus the latest about what Redknapp’s role at Huish Park will entail, as well as any other news to come out of Yeovil Town throughout the course of the day.

Darren says Harry's advice will last as long as he's manager

“Harry’s come into help me out.

“No one can put more pressure on me than what I put on myself. People will talk, that’s football, that’s media. I’ve had a relationship with Harry over a number of years which has supported me immensely.”

Darren evasive on whether or not he ran decision by the board.

Not clear if Harry will attend home games

Darren says Harry’s assessment of training this morning was “very good”“He talked about one or two players he’d coached and managed. The Bales, the Defores, the Modrics work harder than any other player. It’s no secret that the best work hard.“There’s more to football than just being stood in the technical area.”

Three weeks ago a Sunday afternoon...

...Darren was at home with his wife and heard Harry announce he’d like to work with a young manager.

“Obviously he’s a fantastic mentor. When you got someone who’s done 1,500 games, you can say he’s an elite manager. I’m 37, I’m humble and honest enough to realise I don’t know anything. I’d be a fool not to take his advice.”

This weekend match vs Newport

Newport are currently six points above Yeovil in the League Two table.

They’ve one 3 of their last 5 but, like Yeovil, lost their last match too.

Darren Way’s men have only won 1 in 5.

There are a few ex-Yeovil players in Newport’s team, too.

You know we mentioned Harry's house earlier...

...this is the beautiful area he lives in (back on September 25). We can see why he wants a short trip to keep his hand in with football. In fact, we’d probably just retire full stop!

Harry's probable journey from Dorset to Yeovil

He’s got a house in the lovely area of Sandbanks, Poole.We’re at the club now and we think we’ve spotted his Range Rover in the car park.

A reminder of why Redknapp is available to advise at Yeovil

He was dismissed as Birmingham boss after a poor run of defeats at the start of the season - despite his usual activity in the transfer market at the Midlands club

12:30Liam Trim

Yeovil right up there in terms of first half goals

The sad thing is, Yeovil are one of the worst sides in League Two for scoring in the second half.

Harry Redknapp was speaking to Talk Sport this morning

A lot of articles have emerged out of this but there isn’t much to them.

We already knew this was a temporary, casual arrangement between Yeovil and Redknapp - so the fact that lots of websites are leading on ‘YEOVIL ROLE WON’T BE PERMANENT’ is a bit misleading, to be honest.
